I think he will as soon as he does this movie with Nolan.

Mud Rottenwatch: 96%

What sayeth gaf, is he in the same league as (just throwing it out there), Leo DiCaprio or Baleman?

Yes, he's definitely in the same category as DiCaprio and Bale, man.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

What are you talking about? Seann William Scott is the constant.

I would say Ryan Reynolds is.

 

[snarge]

Lincoln Lawyer and Killer Joe most recently, yeah, but he has been "A-list" for a very long time. For a while, he seemed like the 3rd, maybe even 2nd person that people would cast for almost any leading romantic comedy role.

Personally, he won me over in Dazed and Confused. Everyone still quotes him, lol.

In a twist of "holy crap, that was the same actor"? The driver in Lincoln Lawyer, Earl, was Tin-Tin from The Crow.

 

[lmpaler]

Color me interested in this. He is hit or miss for me, but this actually looks good.

Apparantly that movie with him and Jack Black, Bernie I believe, is really good too.

 

[Rootbeer]

Saw the thread title and hoped it would be about Mud... yeah I really want to see it.

Wait, people are mentioning Magic Mike like it is a good movie?

I liked it. Was an awkward theater-going experience though. Even if I didn't i'd acknowledge McConaughey's performance in it.

I thought it was mediocre but McConaughey was good in it.

 

[Az987]

His voice is annoying.

He should start talking different and I'd like him more.

One of 2012's best films.

 

[Mushroomer25]

He's been reinventing himself recently, and it's paying off. If he impresses in Interstellar (Nolan's new thing) - I think the public will start to respect him as an actor.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

He convinced me with Lincoln Lawyer. I really like that movie.

 

[ToLateToLove]

Of course he's an A-list actor and has been for many years. Being an A-lister does not mean you have to do great movies. It's all about recognition. He's had many leading roles and a couple of really good ones as well. Good charisma!

 

[Ripclawe]

strictly b lister. an A lister has to be able to open a movie as a requirement. only people who fit that is Leo, cruise and will smith these days.

Rottenwatch: Mud at 98%!

88 reviews, 2 negative.

Bolstered by a strong performance from Matthew McConaughey in the title role, Mud offers an engaging Southern drama that manages to stay sweet and heartwarming without being sappy.

 

[Ra\/en]

best

 

[Manmademan]

He was God list status already, so I guess downgrading to A lister makes sense.

dunno about "god list" but he's easily been A list for a long time.

 

[stormer]

his best movie was tropic thunder..

Damn, guess ill check it out. Was only mildy interested, but this helps.

He is severely underrated but I don't think he's quite an A-lister because I don't think he has the same box office draw as Tom Cruise, Will Smith, or Leo. He's been great in plenty of great movies though.

Will Smith is overrated.

 

[theytookourjobz]

Will Smith is overrated.

Can't argue with that.

 

[ari]

Will Smith is overrated.

He only had two flops in his entire career, and one of those movies was wild wild west alllllll the way back then and another was the indie flick seven pounds which broke even worldwide. Overrated? Lolololol

 

[Phire Phox]

Mud potentially in Oscar race?

Mud potentially in Oscar race?

98% rating on RT is unheard of for a motion picture movie. It is giving me History of Violence vibes, like I mentioned earlier. That can only mean best things.
